Recommended by a friend to try this place out as I was looking for unique ramen. Oyster ramen definitely qualifies as unique. This place is behind the Lotte hotel and it not that hard to find even though the signage is all in Japanese. The staff does not speak English and the menus are also in Japanese. However, there are no problems as the menu has pictures and if you can recognise the price and the general Japanese characters, you will buy the right thing. As well, the staff doesn't have to talk to you like in other ramen shops where they ask you whether you want your noodles hard or soft. They don't ask here, for better or for worse. The ramen itself was very interesting because of its strong oyster flavour. I love oysters and the soup taste is highly infused wihh oyster flavours. What put it overboard was the oyster that comes with it. It was fresh and cooked well but combining it with the strong broth, the oyster taste was too much to my liking. So if you like super strong oyster flavours, this is a must-visit. Aside from that, the meat and veg and the noodles are standard. The gyoza was good but not that special either. This place is worth a try.

- Friendly staff (owner?) - Unique ramen - More than 6 sheets I ordered oyster tsukemen (920 yen). The colour of soup is so unique, it has a kind of green curry-ish look. I could smell and taste some flavours of Oyster from the soup. It’s absolutely unique type of ramen and I enjoyed it. I appreciate their topping is simple. The toppings consist of two sautéed (?) oysters, negi, shreadered seaweed and sprout. Unlike other places, this ramen shop mainly put vegetables so the taste of soup was more appealing to me. Also I appreciate how friendly the owner was... I put a 1000 yen (which has been folded for a while) and vendor machine didn’t accept it. Then the owner noticed that so quick and helped me to get an order ticket. I love this ramen shop :D

If you love oyster and ramen, you're going to love this place! The soup is extremely creamy and buttery, leaving slight scent of oyster. It was a little bit too salty towards the end (especially the boiled egg!). Thankfully I didn't have unpleasant experience, however it was dead silent while eating the ramen. I usually eat and exchange comments about it, so it was surely awkward for me. Also the price is slightly higher than average (considering the fact that the broth is made of oyster, maybe it depends). Approximately 15 seats are available, usually no wait.

東京に引っ越してきて4年。 断言できます。 この店が東京で1番美味しい店です。 あえて「店」と言ったのは、ラーメン屋という括りだけではなく、飲食店という括りで1番と言いたかったからです。 牡蠣が好き ラーメンが好き この2つが大前提であることをご理解の上読み進めて欲しいんですが、この店が提供する牡蠣のラーメン、最高です。 何度でも言いましょう。 最高です。 東京にはたくさん美味しい店が建ち並び、それこそラーメン屋なんて、星の数ほどあるかと思います。 もちろん、全ての店に行くことなんて不可能だし、自分が行った店舗数なんて、飲食店全体で考えると限りなく0%に近い数字かと思います。 それでも最高と言えちゃう理由は、組み合わせなんですよね。 牡蠣×ラーメン 牡蠣×つけ麺 この組み合わせの店はそう珍しくないんですが、この組み合わせの店で、佐市さん程牡蠣の旨味を前面に出してる店は少ない、というか知らないです。 初めて食べた時に「うっひょー、牡蠣や、牡蠣の玉手箱やー」と思ったかどうかは置いといて、とにかく牡蠣を味わいながら、大好きなラーメンも味わえるという至高の組み合わせに感動しました。 牡蠣と同じぐらい雲丹も好きなんですが、どこぞで食べたウニラーメンは全然ダメでしたね。 ウニや牡蠣って、良くも悪くも、個性が強すぎるじゃないですか。 そこのウニラーメンは、ウニにラーメンが飲み込まれてるんですよね。 ウニも変にラーメン飲み込んでしまったもんやから、ウニ本来の美味しさがラーメンによって損なわれてしまうという結果に。 他の牡蠣ラーメンも同様のことが起こりがちなんですが、佐市さんは違うんです。 牡蠣のええとこだけを褒めて伸ばしてあげて、ラーメンとの協調性を図った結果、無二の親友になったようなラーメンなんです。 牡蠣が苦手な人って、えぐみだったり、磯臭さだったりすると思うんですが、一切ないです。 牡蠣の美味しさ、旨味だけを抽出したラーメンなんです。 牡蠣が苦手な弟すら「これは美味しい」と言ってしまったぐらい、本当に本当に美味しいラーメンなんで、ぜひ行ってみてください。 列できがちですが、提供スピード早く、回転率も高いんで、待ち時間非常に少なめです。 僕がおすすめする、東京で1番のお店。 ぜひ足を運んでみてください。 ※接客は絶対に期待せずにただただ黙々と食べてください。接客が悪いとかではなく、愛想振りまく系ではないので、触らぬ店員になんとやらです。

We came across this ramen shop nearby to our hotel. The soup is thick, really tasty and flavorful. My personal No. 1 among all the ramen I tried in my Tokyo trip. The oyster in the ramen is also very unique, not something that we always see in ramen, and it adds in good flavor to the ramen. Definitely recommended and must try.

Really good ramen in a tiny, quick little ramen bar. I don’t read Japanese very fast or well, and the menu on the ticket machine wasn’t very descriptive, anyway. I’m not very picky so, with all of that in mind, I just picked the Saichi Ramen, since I thought that their eponymous bowl would be good. It was!
